Hello everyone,

I own a TEMPRA 2.0 SLX SW and about to change the disc pads on all 4 wheels.On each front caliper are 2 long bolts and what appears to be a locking nut on each bolt. Am I correct ? Do I just need to loosen the locking nuts then remove the long bolts to access pad replacement.(I fear shearing the bolts).Is there a reverse thread involved?
Is this the same procedure for the rear disc pads?

Appreciate any help.Cheers!
 
Front: The long bolts are not as long as you think. They are 13mm and go through the caliper into the caliper holder pins. These have the 15mm bolt at the head of them. Hold the 15mm stationary and undo the 13mm. The caliper will then be free to remove and then the pads.

Rear: The rear calipers need to be wound in while pressing them back in. For the cost might be worth having a garage change the rear pads.
